Gonzalez-Zamudio contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
in light of (i) the age of his prior conviction, which triggered a 16-level
enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A); (ii) his history and circumstances;
and (iii) the fact that he was sentenced to 27 months for a prior illegal reentry. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Gonzalez-Zamudio’s
sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence at the
bottom of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including
Gonzalez-Zamudio’s criminal and immigration history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
